Magento

I’ve tried and tried again and again(maybe 50 times) I get nothing!
in the oscommerce tools:

Create under default website

Website Code - base

Timezone - eastern new york

Database Connection Charset - UF8

Database Data Charset - Latin1

I checked CATEGORY and PRODUCTS for import

I click start running and the popup window I get:
Starting profile execution, please wait…
Warning: Please don’t close window during importing/exporting data
Categories processed 0% 0/20 records
Waiting FOR EVER and nothing is happening
I would like to import 20 categories and about 600 products

For me to migrate to Magento I will need to import all my product!
what is wrong with the tool??

Is someone out there can help me PLEASE!

If you had searched here and the bugs, you would have found it’s broken since the latest Magento version update. There are attempts at work-arounds but no proper results yet, so it seems.

Ok, is there another way to migrate from the oscommerce DB? and bipassi the tool?and if there is how can I fine the procedure for doing so?

Yes, you can make your own complex XML based import/export schedules. No tutorials for it that I’ve seen so you’re a bit out on your own.

When I first looked at Magento, with a view to move 5 osC shops over, I quickly decided a manual transfer, product by product, would be best. It’s about the same number of products as you so yes, it’s a long-winded pain but with Magento’s cool features, it deserves some extra attention to make the most of it. If you just import from osC and do nothing more, you won’t be taking advantage of any of the great features such as attributes etc. You may as well stick with osComemrce IMO.

I’m now nearly done, having made attribute sets, attributes, tier pricing etc. all the stuff osC couldn’t do. Yes, it took ages but the end result will be 1000 times better than a quick and dirty import. Now it can do without much attention for another couple of years.

Based on my experience, 600 products at 20 minutes each to do them properly takes you 200 hours. Work at it 10 hours a day and you’re done in 3 weeks. Add another week for other stuff and you could be over in a month. Well worth the effort.

I just have to import customers and orders, something I luckily pre-prepared at the time the osCommerce import tool still worked with 1.1.8.

I luckily pre-prepared at the time the osCommerce import tool still worked with 1.1.8.

is the tools work with v1.1.8?
and if so can i import categories, products,customer and orders ??
and then update to the lates 1.2.1 ?? and all the data from the migration will be there?
if this it the only way to use the tool I have no problem to delete 1.2.1 and install 1.1.8
what do you think?

Yes, that should work OK. I upgraded on every available version with Diff from 1.1.8 now to 1.2.1 so you should be OK with that strategy.

I’m going to try it, ill let you know
thanks

Installed 1.1.8 everything was ok,
Then I install oscommerce tool - ok
I created profile - ok
Then when I click on run and then “Edit osCommerce Profile :” I click on check requirements nothing happen it does not procede to the setup.
Looks like there is another bugs I can’t make this tool works
I starting to get disgusted with the whole magento project I’m spending too much time.
Any help or comments will be appreciated

Some sort of import tool/method would really be helpful. I expect that I could create a CSV or XML file and do it, but given that the data is already in a database with standard indexed tables this seems like a clunky and inefficient way to go about it. Is there another method that people have found to work with v.1.2.1?

i m trying to import osCommerce database into magento,
using extension provided by magento core team,
but i m not getting anything,, it freezes on the importing page....
any idea???

Hey, this worked for me:

Replace “app/code/core/Mage/Oscommerce/Block/Adminhtml/Import/Run.php” by the last version, and the bug of “0%” is resolved for customers, orders and categories, should be fine and working. Download the last version from these sites:
version 1.4.x
http://svn.magentocommerce.com/source/branches/1.4-trunk/app/code/core/Mage/Oscommerce/Block/Adminhtml/Import/Run.php

version 1.3x
http://svn.magentocommerce.com/source/branches/1.3-trunk/app/code/core/Mage/Oscommerce/Block/Adminhtml/Import/Run.php

but if you want to do the hard way, search around the line no. 139 and change for this:
---
new Ajax.Request(”’ . $this->getUrl(’*/*/batchFinish’, array(’id’ => $importModel->getId())) .’”, {
parameters: {form_key: \\’’.Mage::getSingleton(’core/session’)->getFormKey().’\\’}, // THE NEW LINE BRO
onComplete: function() {
----

If this goes wrong, then you should check you php.ini and do some changes in the memory, search in the forum about that

Will this work with importing from CRE Loaded OsC to Magento?

I suggest all of you to take a look at Cart2Cart. This is automated shopping cart migration service which allows to move store\’s data from one shopping cart to different one. Currently, Cart2Cart supports 24 most popular shopping carts among them osCommerce, CRE Loaded, Zen Cart, X-Cart and more.
With this service you save your time and solve your migration issue at once!

for me this helped to start running:
/app/code/core/Mage/Oscommerce/Block/Adminhtml/Import/Run.php Row 161:

method: “post”

change it to:

method: “get”,
